I'm looking for a recipe for loading Red Dot using Cheddite primers and Winchester AA Hulls any help would be great.I am just getting back into the sport of trap as well as reloading after 15 years and am noticing the increase in everything so trying to cut cost without sacrificing quality.

I emailed Alliant a while back and they said that you can use load data for Winchester primers for lower pressure loads. They said that although Cheddite and Winchester primers are very similar, they are not exactly the same. Their advice was to avoid swapping primers is the load with the Winchester primer is near max pressure.

I personally don't swap primers if the pressure in the load data exceeds 9000. Anything above that and I use what the recipe calls for. Currently, my load is 17.0 grains of Red Dot in an old style AA hull with a Cheddite primer, DR XL1 wad and 1 ounce of west coast magnum #8 shot. Low on recoil but still crushes targets. If I remember right, this load generates about 8000 PSI with a Winchester primer.

Chedites can pretty much just swap out for winchester. i use 17 grains of red dot 7/8 oz winchester or eqivilent wads 7/8 oz of shot and aa or remington hulls with chedite primers. gives you about 1200fts. no pressures issues. you can use 1oz of shot if you like without worry. doc
